Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Domonic Dilbrandt (ranked 4083 p4p, 2873 weight class) and Aristotle Sparbot (ranked 315 p4p, 225 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dilbrandt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to NO CHANCE . I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Aristotle Sparbot was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dewey Decimal (ranked 2158 p4p, 2378 weight class) and Jean Luc Petit (ranked 131 p4p, 144 weight class). Decimal comes into the arena with The Dewey Decimal Rap blaring out of the sound system. Petit has chosen Dirty Beaches - Lord Knows Best as his entrance music.

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
